Ingredients

• 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 0.25 cups granulated sugar
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
• 0.5 cups lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest, finely grated
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.

Step 2

Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan, creating an even crust. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to set.

Step 3

In a separate large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and lemon zest until fully combined and smooth.

Step 4

Pour the lemon filling into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly. Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the filling to set.

Step 5

Before serving, prepare the whipped cream topping. In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together using an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.

Step 6

Spread or pipe the whipped cream on top of the pie as desired. Optionally, garnish with additional lemon zest or thin lemon slices for decoration.

Step 7

Slice the pie and serve chilled. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
